Busy, busy, busy!

Fall is here, and it's beautiful! We had some friends here this past weekend, and were able to spend some time on the Harvard Business School campus in Cambridge. Just a great campus, and a beautiful day.

Colin's on new medication. Ahhhh...it's such fun to try to muddle our way through life with him! He seems to be responding well. He's a little "jittery" for a couple of hours immediately after dosing, but is overall more even keel. He continues to be such a sweet kid. It's frustrating (to ALL of us, including him!) that there still are times when he's just "overloaded" in the sensory department. You'll tell him to calm down, and he looks at you with frustration & says, "I can't!". Which, darnit, is almost true!! Who can blame him for spinning around in circles, flapping his arms, and singing?! Honestly...there are times when I consider that doing just that may help me get through a day myself!!

We are having a huge harvest party here this weekend. It's a tradition we enjoyed with Eric's mom & her husband for the past few years, and now it's moving to our house. There are currently 50+ people coming...26 of those children. Yikes! It's gonna be great, but the preparation is consuming most of Mommy's energy & brainpower! It's gonna be an old-fashioned, hay riding, apple bobbing, costume judging, game playing, bonfire having good time. I'll be sure to post pictures...particularly of my costume...which isn't to be missed! Eric, of course, is going as...well...himself. What a party animal.
